A smirk crosses Yua'rak's lips as he prepares what he had planed from the very beginning. "Kais'or'es, may I call you Kais'or'es? I have a test of speed and skill for you! Outside the ship I have in place a number of rings representing a flight path, your goal is to not only complete the course in the designated time but." *snapping his finger* a drone appears next to Yua'rak. "Through out your path there will be mobile drone with "marker rounds," nonlethal electronic paint. You must shoot down, not literally, all drones without suffering "critical damage." If you can do this then you are indeed worthy." Motioning towards the barracuda. "Is it ready for action?" Looking at Kais'or'es. "Are you ready?" OCC: speed race laser tag!
<Ha'le> As the Shas'ui and his Pathfinders enter the simulation room, he notices Shi'Monat standing there, having finished a lecture to an unfamiliar Shas'ui to Ha'le. "Excuse me, but I would like to get my Pathfinders some time on the simulations, and I see you are doing a few runs, mind if we join?"
<Shi'Monat> The Commander turned around to the new group and smirked. "Fireblade. New mission. Your squad will operate with these Pathfinders during a combat against Space Marines. Your objective is to take support the main battleforce. The Pathfinders will aim for key defensive structures and blow them up, while you clear the path for them, Fireblade. Both teams need to work together or else the entire operation will fail. Of course there are other forces with you, but you are the key figures in this operation." Shi'Monat simply instructed and gestured to the free Simulation module - It was an order, not a suggestion.
Vior'la- Vior'la turned to the fire blade should be interesting she remembered her father was once a fire blade. she touched the bonding blade for only a second remembering him and home. "What kind of equipment will be allowed in the simulation?" vior'la asked
<Shi'Monat> "Anything according to your class. Fire Warriors either Pulse Rifles or Carbines, Pathfinders either Carbines or Rail Rifles. And of course each Pathfinder gets a detonator for taking out the structures." The Commander simply stated and nodded to herself - making sure what she said was right.
<Ha'le> "What about drones ma'am? My boys usually bring a Pulse Accelerator and Recon Drone with us." The Shas'ui waves his hand at three of his Pathfinders, who quickly locate their rail rifles, and the detonators, and begin to hand out the detonators to the remaining 6 Pathfinders. Another Pathfinder begins programming the Drones for simulation mode.
<Shi'Monat> "No Drones. In this situation they would only be a downside. They are not as flexible as warriors out of flesh and blood. Yes they are a good help, but also easy to spot and make noise. This scenario is against a Space Marine Company which is used to fighting against Tau - So they would be a disadvantage for your advance. I grant you one Seeker Missile strike though which the Fireblade, as leader of this operation may call."
<Ha'le> "I assume we may use our Markerlights then?" He gestures for the Shas'la reprogramming the drones to stop, and is met with immediate compliance.
<Shi'Monat> "Of course, if you bring any, that is. Also it may help you in cooperation with the Fireblades squad."
